Bulgaria has started rolling out the WiMax network, a wireless high speed internet network. In first instance only the ten biggest cities will get the network, but in 2009 there will be a ninety percent coverage. Bulgaria will then be one of the first countries to have this technology available almost everywhere. Cisco states there is a lot of interest in WiMax in upcoming countries, from Africa to the Middle East, but also in parts of China. This is especially true for areas that don't have existing communication infrastructure like copper. For Bulgaria this is the quickest and cheapest way to roll out broadband internet (em, Dutch).

Thus third world countries will soon be able to develop themselves tremendously. All of a sudden they have an infrastructure comparable to that of the western world. Even the smallest, remote villages that don’t even have a physical infrastructure. This new infrastructure makes it possible for complete communities to develop rapidly. When the production is moved to Africa, there will be no more third world countries left. Then there will only be first world countries, and the whole world will be in a totally new phase. A very interesting phase. The phase of Pamper Planet.
